She has tons of experience working with and training dogs, which makes her great for an in home service as she can simply continue and reinforce the work you are doing with your dog. My puppy loves her and looks forward to her visits, and I find her to be very reasonably priced. She charges per visit- so if you have more than one pet- it costs the same amount. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a dog walker or pet sitter- she is an excellent option!

I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. We took our dog here about 4 times before…read moresummer. I would not take your dog here. No toys to play with and small rooms. The young kid who owns this or whatever also lied to me. I asked about a room and what was going on inside because I could see it and he said nothing and it was being cleaned - that was not true and I could see dogs in there and they all looked so sad. He said we could not go in to see dogs because it would rile them up, also bullshit- you just don't want people seeing your shitty/ depressing rooms. Do not take your dog somewhere if you cannot tour the place - duh no brainer, hence why I feel silly I even came back. The last time we picked our dog up he wreaked of pee and had yellow paws and had to potty right away. I should have known better and actually feel bad I let my dog come here. He was never excited to come. They also do not let you come see inside which is super sketchy and the one time I was able to get a look it legit looked like a jail cell and the dogs looked sad. It's also not cool the workers just stay outside and watch. That is not normal and they should he interacting with the dogs , not staring from a window outside. My dog hated coming here and was never excited. We ended up moving to pampered pets and it's been nothing but amazing ! The workers are great, so friendly and constantly interacting with the dogs. They have TVs where you can also see them and a beautiful outdoor space. They even have a pool for swim lessons . Please safe yourself the trouble and your dog the trauma of coming here. My dog visibly gets excited and cannot wait to come to pampered Pets so also a sign I know he is being loved and treated well.

I could not believe how welcoming and comforting everyone at the dog waggin made us feel and made our crazy little furry crew feel like family. We have never before felt comfortable leaving the pups with a sitter let alone leaving them in an overnight setting..... until we found Mark, Lisa and crew! We love that they text updates and wonderful pics too! Thanks so much DW crew! We all look forward to many stays and play days to come!!

She understands them and their behavior and even takes the extra care to dry them off when it rains or clean a crate when they have the occasional accident. We are so very grateful the we found her and don't know what we would do without her. We have two really great Golden Retrievers and they are our children. Susan treats them like they are her own. You can't go wrong with Happy Tails. I highly recommend their services. Your pets will love them. Susan understands their behavior and is a great trainer. She spends quality time with our girls!

Rather than abandon the idea of having dogs we decided that dog sitting/walking was our best option to be responsible pet owners. Fast forward 8 years... YES I SAID 8 YEARS! Susan has taken care of our 2 Vizslas since they were pups Monday thru Friday for 8 years. Sometimes they see Susan more than they see me! She treats my girls as if they were her own and I never have to worry about them. Susan has a gift for dealing with pets. Not only is Susan reliable but she also enforces the same regimen we do so there is always a consistent message which equates to well behaved dogs. I cannot say enough great things about the service Susan provides.

There are 3 things I worry about when leaving my animals behind on a trip…read more 1. Will they be taken care of? 2. Will they be comfortable? 3. Will they be okay in case of an emergency? Lauren puts all 3 of these to worries to ease. 1. Will they be taken care of?? I have never seen my dogs like another person more. She takes care of them and communicates with me if she has any worries about their behaviors, or conditions. 2. Will they be comfortable?? My line of thought might not be the same as everyone else, but I feel like my dogs are comfortable in their own space and home. The ability to leave my dogs at home and have someone either come let them out and take care of them, or stay over night with them puts me at ease. I've boarded my dogs outside of home before and they appear stressed when I come back. After having Lauren watch my dogs they don't seem to skip a beat and seem calm and happy. 3. Will they be okay in case of an emergency?? My animals are like family to me. It would wreck me with concern to know that they are hurt or in danger with me away. Lauren has been working as a vet tech for over 7 years. If there is an issue, she knows what to do, or knows who to contact to find out what to do. It makes me a lot more comfortable being away. I would recommend Lauren to anyone seeking petsitting in the Stc area.

I first met Lauren 3 years ago when she was serving as a Vet Tech staff member at Gateway Vet…read moreClinic in St. Charles, IL. She was and still is much loved by the staff there even though she has moved on to another position with increased responsibility. My pup was a 7-year old rescue who had recently come to live with me and had not had a very good previous life at the time I met Lauren. At about the same time she came to live with me my situation was going to require my making several trips back and forth to Colorado over the course of a few months. I investigated the quality of several boarding kennels in my area. Although most were highly recommended I came to realize that no matter the cost or recommendations, my pup was not ready nor would do well in that type of stressful environment. During a Vet visit I met Lauren. Knowing that I was looking for a professional to take care of my pup she explained that home sitting and caring for dogs was something she had done for some length of time. The Veterinarian and staff at the vet clinic highly recommended Lauren. I add that my pup fell instantly in love with Lauren during her first visit at the Vet clinic. Lauren has taken care of pup multiple times and every time I come home it is to a very happy dog who has been well cared for and most importantly....loved. Lauren loves animals. When it comes to dogs it does not matter if they are tiny or very large she loves them all and they love her. Lauren is very flexible and willing to work around your requests or your pets needs. Her background as an experienced Vet Tech is an added bonus in being able to assess needs or unusual behaviors in the pet and the necessary actions to take. Regardless of whether you have Lauren stay at your house or come in as often as you request to feed and walk your pet you will be nothing but inordinately pleased and your pet will be happy as well as non-stressed. I highly recommend Lauren to care for your pet.
